Option C

Explanation:

for this we need the cosine rule

#a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc CosA#

from the question

#5^2=2^2+4^2-(2xx4xx2xxCostheta)#

#25=4+16-16costheta#

solving for #theta#

#(25-20)=-16costheta#

#costheta=-5/16#

#theta=cos^(-1)(-5/16)#

#theta=108.209..^0#

#theta=108^0# to the nearest degree.
So option C is the one required
